Answer:

c. natural force or pull toward the earth

Explanation:

Gravity of the earth is the force of attraction that it naturally possesses to attract any mass.

An apple falls on the earth due to this force of gravity.

The force of gravity near to the surface of the earth is given as:

F=m.g

where:

m= mass of the body

g= acceleration due to gravity

The variation of the gravitational force with height is given as:

F'=m.g'

where:

g'=g\times (1+\frac{h}{R} )^{-2}

where

R = radius of the earth \approx64000\ km

The potential difference between the plates of an air-filled parallel-plate capacitor with a plate separation of 4 cm is 51 V. W
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field between plates of a parallel plate capacitor is uniform .

In a uniform electric field , relation between electric field and potential gradient is as follows

electric field = potential gradient               [ E = - dV / dl ]

in the given case ,

dV = 51 V  ,

dl = 4 cm

=  4 x 10⁻² m

E = 51 /  4 x 10⁻²

= 12.75 x 10² V / m

= 1275 V / m

C. This is the idea of "black body radiation". Charcoal/carbon is a "perfect black body". Absorbs all radiation. There's a whole host of stuff about this in physics, including, I think, Planck's (Nobel Prize winner) black body radiation theory.

A car travels 15 kilometers west in 10 minutes. After reaching the destination, the car travels back to the starting point, agai
jeka94

Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
 
Strange as it may seem, 'velocity' is completely different. 

Velocity doesn't involve the total distance traveled at all. 
Instead, 'velocity' is based on 'displacement' ... the distance
between the start-point and end-point, regardless of the route
taken to get there.  So the displacement in driving once around
any closed path is zero, because you end up where you started. 

Velocity =

           (displacement during some time)
divided by
            (time for the displacement)

AND the direction from the start-point to the end-point.


For the guy who drove 15 km to his destination in 10 min, and then
back to his starting point in 5 min, (assuming he returned by way of
the same 15-km route):

         Speed = (15km + 15km) / (10min + 5min)  =  (30/15) (km/min)

                                                                                 =  2 km/min.

        Velocity = (end location - start position) / (15 min)  =  Zero .

A pickup truck is being driven down the highway carrying eight 100 gallon fish tank full of water. A hole is punctured in each t
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the vehicle would increase because the the tanks (when filled with water) must have exerted a force which would reduce the velocity of the vehicle at a certain pressure on the gas pedal. Note that force equals mass multiplied by acceleration; as the mass decreases, so the force decreases. Thus, when the mass exerted by this tanks (on the vehicle) decrease as a result of the hole punctured in them, the force exerted by the tanks would also decrease causing an increase in velocity of the pick up truck when the same pressure is applied on the gas pedal throughout (before and after the puncture).

The conservation law that applied here is the law of conservation of energy which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another. This is because the energy the vehicle used in carrying the load (the tanks) was transformed to the energy that resulted in increasing  it's velocity (no new energy was formed as the pressure on the gas pedal remained the same).
